Woman plans surprise birthday for boyfriend, only to have his friends ditch it out of embarrassment, causing tension in their relationship: ‘They left before we even sang happy birthday’

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. For some people, birthdays are a big deal. Some people want the works – party, gifts, cards, cake, and all the attention on them. Some people even plan multiple events for their birthday, and you're left wondering if they thought they had a birth 'month' instead of a birthday. Others don't want a party at all and refuse to plan anything. I even know the type who refuses to tell others when their birthday is! 

In this Reddit thread, the original poster (OP) is a woman who shares a birthday with her boyfriend. They have their traditional celebrations together, but this year she wanted to make it special and different. She planned a surprise gesture in his honor, she even contacted a friend of his to act as her accomplice. She thought everything was going to plan, but upon arriving at his university to surprise him, his friends started acting strange…to the point where they just got up and abruptly left. But you'll have to read the full story for all the juicy details.
